Transcript | data relating to industrial hazards for the information of Congress, to the end that such legislation may be adopted as may be calculated to secure the safety, conservation and protection of labor from the dangers incident to industry and transportation. Suffrage Plank "The Republican party, reaffirming its faith of government of the people, by the people, for the people, as a measure of justice to one-half the adult people of this country, favors the extension of the suffrage to women, but recognizing the right of each state to settle this question for itself. "Such are our principles, such are our purposes and policies. We close as we began. The times are dangerous and the future is fraught with peril. The great issues of the day have been confused by words and phrases. The American spirit, which made the country and saved the Union, has been forgotten by those charged with the responsibility of power. We appeal to all Americans, whether naturalized or native-born, to prove to the world that we are Americans in thought and in deed, with one loyalty, one hope, one aspiration. We call on all Americans to be true to the spirit of America, to the great traditions of their common country and, above all things, to keep the faith." Voters make up political parties. Political parties elect governments. Governments make laws. Laws control life, and life for most of the people, is labor. —Anna Agnes Matey. "Socialism is stronger than the strongest presentation that can be made of it."—Professor Richard T. Ely, in uSocialism and Social Reform." "Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates and men decay."—Goldsmith. "The conflict will come, however, because if there is one deep-rooted conviction in the human breast it is that each person has a right to what he earns."—Scott Nearing. 20 |
